Congenital Heart Disease
Congenital heart disease is an alteration in the structure of the heart present from birth. It ranges from mild defects that barely cause discomfort to more complex malformations that require specialized care.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatric cardiologist is the main go-to professional in children, along with the cardiovascular surgeon when an intervention is required and the neonatologist in newborns.
Signs that may appear:
- Bluish coloring of the lips or skin
- Fatigue or difficulty feeding in babies
- Shortness of breath or slow growth
When should you seek care? With murmurs, unusual tiredness when eating, or a bluish tone in a baby, an early evaluation is advisable. Seeing the specialist makes it possible to closely follow the development of the affected person's heart.
